Manchester City Exits Europa League Despite 3-2 Win

Manchester City crashed out of the Europa League on away goals despite rallying to a 3-2 home win against Sporting Lisbon on Thursday.

Matias Fernandez curled in a 33rd-minute free kick and Ricky van Wolfswinkel scored a second in the 40th to consolidate the Portuguese club's 1-0 win in the first leg.

Needing four goals to progress, City almost completed an astonishing comeback as Sergio Aguero scored in the 60th and 82nd, sandwiching Mario Balotelli's 75th-minute penalty, to level the aggregate score at 3-3.
